Free online forums for regional, rural and remote allied health professionals

Charles Sturt University’s Three Rivers Department of Rural Health is offering a series of free online forums for regional, rural and remote allied health professionals.

These free online forums are blue-sky thinking on how to transform allied health education to meet the current and future workforce and service needs of regional, rural and remote government, not-for-profit, and private organisations.

The forums are for allied health professionals, from new graduates to very experienced, and their managers who provide services to people living in regional, rural and remote areas.

These one-hour online forums are facilitated by staff in the Charles Sturt University School of Allied Health, Exercise and Sports Sciences and funded by the Three Rivers Department of Rural Health.

These forums will explore your perspective on:

  • Changes needed in allied health education to meet contemporary and future needs

  • How government, not-for-profit and private agencies can collaborate in the education of allied health students

  • How agencies and universities can collaborate, e.g. continuing professional development, research, conjoint positions

  • Providing students with high-quality practice experiences that will also benefit the agencies and communities.

The forums will be held online between Tuesday 13th June and Friday 23rd June at various times.
